The best place to eat oysters in Baltimore is at Dylan’s, where you can watch the shucker work behind the bar or take a seat in one of their snug booths and admire the tiny restaurant’s controlled chaos from afar. The menu usually has at least one Maryland option, like wellfleets, but you can also try some briny and sweet bivalves from Virginia and New Brunswick. They also do great seasonal hits like the mayo-slathered soft shell crab sandwich. For dessert, the basque cheesecake is so good that when it pops up on their dessert menu, locals in Dylan’s neighborhood Facebook group sound the alarm.
